quench vs no quench?
Back in our dominating dirt track days, we ran this challenger pictured, 440, 4-speed. We had to weigh 300 pounds more than the small block cars. The only mopars were ours and 2 others that also ran BIG BLOCKS and weighed more. The other 20 cars in the class were small block chevies, some were even 400 small blocks, and being small blocks, they didnt have the weight penalty we did. The majority of the small block cars were making more HP than our 440, but we made more torque, and guess who won more races in the area than any of them? WE DID, and the few we didnt, the other 2 mopars, with high torque big blocks did! You could watch it work, we would totally dominate them in the corners and pulling out of the corners and before they started catching up, we were in the corner again! SO, You need torque in racing..unless its a 10 mile race..
Here is a link to our videos if you have an hour or so to watch some good dirt racing being dominated with mopars!
